Embroidered jeans AKA My 2nd pair of Morgan jeans

I love making Morgan jeans! This second pair came together even easier than the first. Plus I was able to make a few adjustments to the fit that I worked out from last time which meant the fit around the crotch was better.

I made this second pair out of better denim too. I got some 10oz denim from Empress Mills which is a great weight for these jeans and better than the thinner fabric of my last pair.

There’s still more to improve on fit wise with these though:

I definitely need a sway back adjustment to take out a bit of the excess fabric in the lower back.

I plan to taper the lower legs slightly for a more fitted peg leg look.

I’m also thinking about just going down a size for my next pair as well. I’m finding the denim I’m using does stretch out quite a bit which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but I think I’d like a more slim fitting pair too.

I bought some black denim from the same company so I’m hoping to make a few more pairs of Morgans until I perfect that fit!

I wanted to really make these jeans a bit special so I hand embroidered over the jeans to create a floral pattern over the left front and the back pockets. I’m so tempted to keep going and embroider them even more but it’s such a time consuming process that I’m not sure if I’d have the patience to do it!

Thanks! It was actually much easier than I thought it would be on the denim. I think that’s because it wasn’t too thick though.
You should totally just get stuck in with your patterns! I’m a big fan of the Closet Case patterns – they’re so easy to follow. I was worried about making them beforehand but the instructions are really good!

I know! I’ve gotten so many samples of denim from so many shops – they mostly sell the really thin stuff that’s not great for jeans. The 10oz stuff from Empress Mills is great for non stretch jeans. I wish they did their stretch denim in the same weight!
